As the Web evolves, so does the role that Internet servers play. The Internet has seen the growth of e-commerce, B2B business, collaboration, streaming and other new media, and these new applications require new features to meet increasingly complex needs. Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) has many of the features today's mature Web sites need. This article outlines the features in the upcoming version 6.0 and discusses how they promote better scalability, reliability, and performance. Features such as Remote administration, caching, and metabase improvements, as well as custom isolation and security enhancements, make IIS 6.0 the Web server of the future.

The thread pool that remoting infrastructure useÃÂ to processÃÂ simultaneous client's requests is the same thread pool of the host process?

If it is the same pool, threads i take to do normal work on the remote objectÃÂ decrease the throughput of the application beacause remoting infrastructure would have less threads to handle client's requests.

ASP.NET has been developed with lots of features which makes developer life easy. Start from ViewState, PostBack, Server Controls , User Controls and etc. All of them can make your web development experience fun and easy, but improper use of them can cause your site performance slowdown. Most of the controls generate overhead to the client and server. Therefore in this article, I I will list out about things you can do and don't to improve your ASP.NET website performance.

I have a method that calls two subsequent methods that contain multiple parameters. I would like to run these methods simultaneously and then preform an action based on the return of both methods, so The parent thread cannot continue until BOTH threads have completed. I have tried going trough MSDN examples and haven't got anything to work (the issue is that the parent thread (aka the main method) continues on once one of the thread completes). I have tried cheking the state of threads and waiting the threads, but have not gotten anywhere. Any help would be great. Thanks.

SOA makes application scalability easier, but getting the best performance out of your SOA means paying close attention to the details. We'll give you some tips for coding your app more effectively and using distributed caching to remove data access bottlenecks.

Visual Studio 2010 includes new resource contention profiling features that help detect concurrency contention among threads. We walk through a profiling investigation to demonstrate how you can pinpoint and fix resource contention problems in your code.

Developers frequently face issues related to scalability bottlenecks when they have applications that need to handle a lot of load. This article describes the role of a distributed cache in building scalable applications.
